“Whole Worlds Watching, Ūpokohue, Titokowaru” and more.

Full Concert. Special guest Pete Denehy from Australia. 7pm. $15. Tickets available from Eventfinder.
Hot Knives is the brain child of Warkworth’s musician Bobandii,who after moving to Auckland was approached by Apple Music to create the biggest music single possible. It was here that all five band members came together to create the electric “Nazarite“, which went on to have international success.
Although the flame had been sparked by one individual, the band quickly grew into it’s own monster, and as the band continued to play together, they started to turn the heads of other people in the industry. Hot Knives had been born.
The self titled EP is the very first official release by the band, and encompasses the original intention of the Nazarite track in 4 brand new songs.

Australian cowpunk legends The Johnnys are making their long-awaited return to Aotearoa this September for their first national tour in twenty eight years.
With a fistful of foot-stomping tunes tucked under their belts, the rough riding band struck gold with their 1986 album Highlights Of A Dangerous Life spurring numerous chart hits in New Zealand and Australia, and party-starting sets at legendary local venues The Gluepot and Warners. The tour is being held in tribute to their ill bandmate, guitarist Spencer P. Jones (also of Beasts of Bourbon), who sadly won’t be crossing the ditch to join the trio of Graham Hood, Slim Doherty and Billy Pommer Jr.

Dunedin music icon Martin Phillipps has gathered together the latest iteration of his band The Chills for an extensive nationwide tour this September and October in support of their latest studio album Snow Bound, the group’s first long player since 2015’s Silver Bullets. With so many classic tunes under his belt it’s impossible to pick favourites from Phillipps’ mighty oeuvre, which stretches back to 1982’s foundational Dunedin Double EP on Flying Nun Records, needless to say the songs of The Chills are close to the hearts of countless New Zealanders.
We are excited to have longtime mill favourite, Finn Andrews open the night – get your tickets quick!
